Who We Are

The Ethical Humanist Society of Chicago, founded in 1882, is a self-governing, inclusive, caring community­—providing a home to those who seek a rational, compassionate philosophy of life without regard to belief or non-belief in a supreme being. We focus on the ethical values that bring people together, not on the beliefs that keep people apart.

In the spirit of intellectual, philosophical, and artistic freedom, we come together to explore life, nature, and the universe.
